Feet of Clay—Confessions of the Cult Sisters
Feet of Clay – Confessions of the Cult Sisters – What's it like to live in a Christian cult commune? How the hell do smart people get brainwashed into crazy beliefs and behaviors? Tracey & Sharon share their parallel journeys into and out of Last Days Ministries, led by Christian music super-star Keith Green (and later his wife Melody Green). Plus they interview others who also got out of high-control groups and toxic churches. Arranged marriages? Purity culture virgins? Religious trauma? Submission of women and misogyny? Child abuse? Sexual assault? Power hungry patriarchy? Heinous homophobia? Christian nationalism and politics? Yep, we touch on it all. Hear stories of escaping evangelicalism, surviving spiritual manipulation, deconstructing fundamentalism and so much more! Former cult sisters, now turned Exvangelical, tell all with humor and healing, compassion and comedy. Bi-weekly.

014 - The Plane Crash that Killed Keith Green
YES, we know this episode is LOOOOONG. We tried to break it into 2 parts, but it just didn't feel right. So - listen to what you can at any one time, pause if you need to, then pick it up later. As far as we know, NO ONE ELSE has gone on record about these things... so here it is. What caused the crash that killed Keith Green? A deadly combination of ego, arrogance, gross negligence and spiritual abuse.
CAUTION: Episode includes details about a small plane crash that killed 12 people, including 8 children. Some listeners may find this very disturbing. Please use discretion.
Because time moved so fast at LDM, Tracey "forgot" that she was already on Staff when the plane went down. She was fast-tracked in order to be placed in leadership as a department head. (Sharon says it's cuz Tracey is just so damn smart!)
SPECIAL THANKS to Elizabeth, Paul & Linda for sharing their memories.
